Description
This one has been ready for something like 3 months, but it felt strange to publish it, mostly because I don't think it's really understandable without an explanation.
(So it failed in being visual communication, because it can't communicate the real message on its own, it needs verbal communication. )

This painting brings a really positive message. It's about a journey, the one you start when you do psychotheraphy.
I was sad, and I wanted to be happy, and I seek professional help, so in the first period I just modified my behaviour and my thoughts, and it worked, I became a functional human being. But I was only pretending that I didn't have a past, and scars, and that I wasn't hurt anymore. I felt good, but it doesn't work like this. When something happens and it hurt too much and you don't have the right defences to cope with it, you just hide it all. The problem is that the pain cristallizes, and stays inside, and every time you touch it is as bad as the first time, so you put it back in and go on. But I've come to accept that if I really wanted to heal I had to face it, and so I did. The last year has been really hard, because I was embracing every wave of pain, accepting it as a part of who I am, a part I can control.
And it got better and better every time, and I'm not so scared of the future like before, because I know I can cope with bad things.

And this is the painting. It is fight, and struggle, but also light. It is the image of the courage you need to get better.

Made with Nari's pencil brushes (I'm in love with them)
